CULT Cymru: Finance for Freelancers

About the event

Being freelance can be daunting, regardless of your area of work. Designed for creatives who are either currently freelance or are going freelance for the first time, this in-person training day explores ways to organise yourself and get to grips with the big changes coming up in tax reporting, plus plenty of shortcuts to help you avoid wasting your valuable time. 

Areas covered include: 

• Why self-employment is different from employment 
• The differences between a sole trader and a limited company 
• Separating your business finances from your personal finances 
• What is tax and national insurance?
• Records you need to keep (while keeping sane) 
• Digital record keeping and the new HMRC requirements for sole traders 
• Invoicing and chasing late payments 
• Understanding your market 
• Motivating yourself 
• How to balance freelance work with your physical and mental wellbeing 

It will be an interactive day, with some practical exercises and even a fun tax quiz. Templates and resources will be available to access after the session.
